Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 801 Joel's condition is a bit off.
three days later.

At dusk in Tokyo Port, a gentle sea breeze carries a salty scent, and the afterglow of the setting sun paints the sky with vibrant colors, reflecting on the bustling port in a dreamlike scene.

The bustling crowd moved like ants, scattered in tiny dots, heading towards the somewhat dilapidated "ghost ship."

There were quite a few attendees, all dressed as monsters or demons in very different styles.

Xia Chuan was among them, along with Yoel, Kogoro Mouri, and Conan.

All four invited people showed up at the dock.

Xia Chuan was dressed in the attire of a Qing Dynasty veteran, with a yellow talisman pasted on his forehead and long Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, exuding the air of a high-ranking official.

The girl next to him, Joel, was wearing a matching outfit, exuding the air of a princess from a Hong Kong zombie movie in the 70s or 80s.

However, compared to those comical zombies, Joel's appearance and attire revealed a touch of allure.

Kogoro Mouri is still wearing that dark suit, the only cosplay detail being that his teeth and ears have been extended.

This rudimentary cosplay was clearly low-class, and the attendees who passed by shook their heads in disapproval.

Conan is actually the most eye-catching of the four.

Because he was dressed as a kappa, with two round blushes on his cute face, a bald patch on his head, wearing a raincoat, and carrying a paper lantern in his hand.

"What an adorable little kid! Can I take a picture with you?" Joel, contrary to common sense, approached Conan with a smile, took out his Polaroid camera, and snapped a series of photos.

Conan didn't say anything, letting the other person hold him in their arms like a lamb to the slaughter, letting them do whatever they wanted.

"Hey, what's wrong with Joel today? I noticed it when we came out of the office. His personality seemed to have changed a lot, and he was acting strangely. Is it because of the heavy workload at the Metropolitan Police Department lately?"

Kogoro Mouri nodded at Natsukawa with concern.

Having known him for so long, he had come to understand Joel's personality to some extent; this state was completely different from his previous gentle nature.

Although Joel's reputation is explosive, at least not in normal contact.

Xia Chuan's lips twitched. "Maybe it'll be fine in a bit. After all, it's a cosplay party, I'm too excited."

He winked at Conan, who immediately understood and whispered, "Sister Yukiko, Father told you to calm down. Have you forgotten? There are likely people from the brewery watching us. You're acting completely differently from Aunt Joel right now, and it'll be easy for you to give yourself away."

"That Vermouth knows you so well, what if she figures something out? Our plan will fall apart! And then all the cake Father promised me will be gone."

Yukiko Kudo pursed her lips, but seeing Anya dressed like this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of cuteness.

She would definitely be cuter if she didn't have a bald patch on her head.

"We haven't boarded the ship yet, it's okay. If your father doesn't keep his promise, your sister will, and I'll buy you a super delicious cake."

Based solely on that "older sister" remark, Yukiko Kudo felt that Anya was a child with great potential.

That Conan kid is really something. Anya is clearly a very well-behaved and cute child, how could he say she's not well-behaved?

"OK then."

Anya succumbed very easily.
Having no other choice, Natsukawa had to step forward and try to persuade Yukiko Kudo herself.

He wouldn't have agreed to Yukiko Kudo's request to accompany him if he hadn't been short-handed.

The four quickly completed the registration and boarded the ship.

This ghost ship was actually a celebration and audition event hosted by a film director. Most of the guests were hoping to catch the director's eye through cosplay, so everyone was performing very seriously. This created a very realistic atmosphere on the ship, making it feel like a real ghost ship. Combined with the ghost ship-like decor, the eerie feeling grew stronger as the sky darkened.

Thankfully, Xiaolan didn't come; otherwise, in this kind of atmosphere, she wouldn't only be unable to help, but would even become a burden.

On the ship, the actors diligently performed the characteristics of their respective roles, glancing left and right from time to time to look for possible examiners, and sometimes touching and feeling around to see if there were any hidden cameras.

"This place looks really nice, it's a pity Xiaolan didn't come."

The only one of the four who was kept in the dark sighed for a moment, then saw the bar in the cabin and ran over happily.

Xia Chuan shook his head. Mr. Mori was living a far too carefree life.

I used to think he and Eri Kisaki were losing out badly by separating, but now it seems he just had his fun and ran away. Kogoro Mouri is quite a character.

Xia Chuan picked up Anya and whispered, "Ania, you can start now. If you find anyone suspicious, just tell your father."

In the original storyline, Vermouth didn't appear on the ship, but who knows how things will turn out in reality.

Because everyone was wearing heavy makeup or masks, Xia Chuan couldn't tell who was disguised.

Vermouth wouldn't completely ignore this situation; even if she didn't board the ship, either Ireland or Baileys would definitely be on board.

He prefers Baileys.

However, one thing is certain: vodka is definitely coming.

This was the news he heard when he received Gin's order that afternoon.

The identity of Tequila was actually arranged for her as well, but Xia Chuan no longer needs to worry about being overwhelmed, as she has made ample preparations this time.

So now we need to find out where the codenamed members of these two wineries are.

"I understand, Father. Leave it to me!"

Noticing that Natsukawa and Anya were whispering to each other, Yukiko Kudo immediately came over: "Mr. Natsukawa, is there anything I can help you with? I'm a very good actress, you should know that."

Yukiko Kudo enthusiastically introduced her abilities, but Natsukawa simply didn't trust her.

Besides, she is Conan's mother after all, and Natsukawa doesn't want her to be in danger.

"Just take a look. With Joel's reputation, no one will dare to lay a hand on you. Your safety is guaranteed."

"Oh."

The young mother pouted unhappily, feeling excluded.

But she had no choice but to walk away listlessly and start observing the cosplay actors.

From the perspective of a professional actress, the acting problems of many cosplay actors are exposed, and commenting on these people's problems has become her way of passing the time.

"Most of these people are terrible actors. Vermouth is such a good actress, I might be able to find her easily. Even if I can't find her, I can still find out the possible peripheral members by observing her."

Yukiko Kudo muttered to herself, pleased that she had found something to do to pass the time.

She acted immediately, full of energy and determination.
